Story
Hello everyone, We got Musubi when she was 6 weeks old from a local breeder here in Oahu, since then she has been raised around out 2 cats and our son who is under 3 years old. She has been to training on island to help her be a better dog on walks because she is a XL breed we took every action to help her understand how to walk appropriately on a leash and to interact with people. She still does get excited and occasionally jump when meeting adults for the first time. She has never bit anyone or other animals. She is a kind hearted dog and unfortunately we don’t have the time to give her the love and attention she deserves. To anyone interested I thank you in advance for helping us but mostly helping her get to a home where she can be loved more often and get the time and care she deserves.

Story
Kona is a loving, 16 month old, chocolate Labrador. We believe she is purebred and from the Big Island and we have a digital copy of her papers. We adopted her from a family on Oahu in October of 2024. Kona is playful and very energetic. She is food trained. She understands several commands including sit, stay, down and come. Kona must be adopted by a family that has the time, energy, and patience to include a chocolate lab into their lives. A family experiences with large, energetic breeds is preferred. Kona's re-home price includes her crate, leashes, collars, and a few months supply of all-in-one heart worm & flea and tick medication. Kona would benefit greatly from training, especially for walks. She responds extremely well to food-based rewards. Kona is friendly and loves people. However, due to her size, maturity, and energy level a family with small children might not be the best home.

Story
Kona is a very loved girl. I wish I could keep her and give her the attention and space she deserves. I’m a nurse and out of the house long hours which she does fine with but I think she deserves better. Also I may be moving to a place that does not allow her breed even though she is the sweetest dog. Her birthday is January 9th, 2016 so she’s 9 years old and I really want her to live out her senior days in a loving home that gives my sweet girl more attention. I’ve had no issues with her behavior she just gets excited on the leash and gets really nervous with loud noises.
